Rich in history and full of breath-taking culture, with over 2,000 kilometres of coastline facing the clear waters of the South China Sea, Vietnam has dozens of pristine sandy beaches with only a handful been developed for tourism.

Resorts such as Hoi An, Nha Trang and Phan Thiet are home to a number of stylish and well-facilitated hotels perfect for any newly wedded couple, without losing the authenticity of this amazing country.

The most popular tourist times are November to March and also July and August. We recommend those looking for things to be quieter then May, June and September still offer fantastic weather with less ‘hustle and bustle’

Tet is the Vietnamese New Year and this also attracts many people to this beautiful country and despite the huge festival being a nice idea in principle the reality is the whole country is on the move and the prices can rise dramatically during this period.

When deciding to take a trip to Vietnam it’s worth noting a few attractions and places to visit down.

Ha long bay is stunning and mysterious, with thousands of islands rising out of the water, you can take a boat ride into the caves to see the stuff of legends.

Hanoi’s old quarter is another exceptional part of Vietnam that’s over 1000 years old with must visit night markets.
